Shorter seasons = less bonus pool less bonus pool = players more equally measured against each other The longer that the season goes on, the more that bonus pools screws up actual ranking. So shortening the season is good. This is a step towards removing the bonus pool entirely. I think it's tough to argue against that. Whether you have bonus points or not, you are still paired up against people with a similar MMR. So this change will not ensure that "players [are] more equally measured against each other." | ||

As long as they put in some GSL or maps from former CCup mapteam I wouldn't mind at all to learn them, but if they are going to remove ~3 maps every other month and add 3 new bad maps made by Blizzard themself that I have to learn I will get pissed probably lol. | ||

What is someone can't play the first ~2 weeks of a season, they might think "well I'll just wait to jump in on the next one in a month" and not play at all. Or if they get off to a poor start they could give up and wait for the reset. How about the fact that there are going to be 6 seasons per year. The honor of being ranked highly in a season is reduced dramatically. "Hey, I was rank 1 in Master in June-July of 2013" seems a lot less of an accomplishment than "I was rank 1 Master fall 2013". I am just tossing some ideas out there why it is not a good idea to turn seasons into a assembly line. In my opinion, there will be a lot of negative consequences which will drive away people more then encouraging them to play. | ||

Frankly the idea "i was XY in Season XY" is something I have never cared about, so from that point of view i really don't care. I agree with the change mostly because i like playing different maps, so more map changes is better for me than less, the danger in this area though is that the new maps might be sub-par (as we've had happen in the past). | ||

Also, they should shrink the map ladder pool but change the entire thing each time, but still include vetos and maybe experiment with community or GSL maps. I would love to have Daybreak on ladder. Though I'm sure it would have to be covered in destructible rocks before it could be used in ladder. | ||

this is a good thing, far better than spending months in a stacked league, etc. | ||

As some have said that accomplishments won't be as recognized now with the shorter seasons since it will all disappear, but with the careers tab everything you need to know about how much you've progressed over the past few seasons will be there. | ||
